The objective of the exposure assessment shall be to make a quantitative or qualitative estimate of the dose/concentration of the substance to which humans and the environment are or may be exposed. The assessment shall consider all stages of the life-cycle of the substance resulting from the manufacture and identified uses and shall cover any exposures that may relate to the hazards identified in Sections 1 to 4. The exposure assessment shall entail the following two steps, which shall be clearly identified as such in the Chemical Safety Report:

Step 1

:

Generation of exposure scenario(s) or the generation of relevant use and exposure categories.

Step 2

Where required and in accordance with Article 31, the exposure scenario shall also be included in an annex to the Safety Data Sheet.
